Nature’s just the perfect place for us to recharge and to relax.

Sahli Nature Park near Pittsburgh, for example, beckons nature lovers, photographers, animal lovers, and anyone who just wants a little bit of alone time.

Just about 45 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, Sahli Nature Park provides a quiet oasis among the hustle and bustle of Beaver Falls.
